James starts off Chapter 5 with a passage that sounds like he is simply “amening” his half-brother, Jesus! Now, considering who Jesus is, that is extremely appropriate. Jesus is known as the God of grace, love, patience, and mercy. He is! But the warnings that Jesus gave are as truthful as His love. James reminds those who have rejected God’s plan for their lives that their comfort is short-lived. We all need to listen to Jesus!

A Change of Perspective
August 27, 2023 • Ed Eddingfield • John 4:1–26
A stranger approaches…a car breaks down…a phone call is received…it is a telemarketer… The things that happen in our lives every day can challenge us and our mission to glorify God on this earth. Today we look at a story to see how Jesus saw the stranger, the unfortunate circumstance, and the person that most wouldn’t want to talk to. He sees beyond the inconveniences of life to see what God the Father is doing. Will you do the same?
The Good Life
August 20, 2023 • Ed Eddingfield • Romans 1:16–23
What are you looking for in life? What makes you really content or happy? Do you have peace? A “Good” life according to Scripture is a life of righteousness…full of God’s love, grace, and salvation. Have you embraced that life which was given to you in faith? Believing in Jesus takes us from being able to enjoy the beauty around us to being able to enjoy the Creator of Beauty. Don’t settle. Embrace Jesus and live His Good Life!
